SETI: Space Agencies [Expansion]

Great addition. It makes the game feel more varied, with more resources and options in the first rounds. I will never play without this again. With 4 players, it could last longer (4.5-5hs).

Like several other CGE games (Arnak, Through the Ages), I consider the first expansion here mandatory. The variable player powers really open up the game and bring a lot of variety.

This expansion turns a good game into an excellent one. Highly recommended for all SETI players. It eliminates the generally inconsequential first turn and accelerates all player development. The new Space Agencies help to drive players to follow different strategies. Fantastic expansion and should be considered mandatory, imo.

The new aliens are moderate, hence mixing them with the stronger ones from base game is risky (the old ones gets all the attention). Agencies are fantastic. New cards, add ons to scanning and quick start are very nice. Good expansion for a perfect game. Strongly recommend it.

As pointed out many times, I wish the expansions came with new end game objective tiles. But that set aside, it improves the game greatly. In particular, the agencies bring a really interesting touch of asymmetry.
